Evil West

But Why ThoQuinn Hiers

60/10

Evil West has a lot of things going for it—the designs are fascinating, the lore excellent, and the gameplay can be massively fun on hard. But it also has some downfalls—the levels feel just a bit too linear, and the main narrative takes a while to really jump into, and even then, it struggles with fluid cut scenes and complexity. While other games have been able to get away with a basic narrative because of their fantastic action, Evil West isn’t quite there.

Evil West is a relic of a bygone era, one that any fan of high-octane action games should experience. An all-round excellently paced main campaign, ridiculously fun combat, and flexible character progression make for one of 2022's best games, and one of the best third-person shooters in recent years.

Evil WEst lets you punch, blast, and generally smart-ass your way through an undead horde.

If you don’t mind the short campaign and the underwhelming story, Evil West’s above average combat and cool graphics make the game a fun ride.

While I don't think Evil West will be anyone's game of the year, it's rare to get such a pure action game these days. For those looking for pure vampire punching, this is your game.

There’s something special about the feeling of the Wild West; the unease yet beauty of the landscape, the dog eat dog nature of survival, the cowboy hats. This year, there have been a few Western games that rebuild the world of the dusty, savage landscape of 16-1800s America into one that is infested with magic, superior technology and thick fanged monsters. Evil West, the adventure third person shooter from devs Flying Wild Hog fits right into this category due to its inclusion of elements...

The wild west was always a dangerous place. If sickness, outlaws, or rattlesnakes didn’t get you, dysentery would eventually come knocking on your door in the end. With Evil West, developed by Flying Wild Hog, you also had another thing to worry about; Vampires. Go Figure. Developer: Flying Wild Hog…

Evil West is an action game that features very unique concepts. Its combat system is innovative and fun, but its lethargic pacing holds it back from achieving greatness.

7/10

Evil West in fun in the moment, but largely forgettable due to the poor writing and level design. While the combat is stellar and intuitive when in the heat of battle, the glue holding those battles together could use some love. With a boring protagonist and stilted dialogue, Evil West feels more low budget than it likely really is. Luckily, there is a solid core here to build upon for the inevitable sequel, and punching dudes with electricity never gets old.

While the story may not be its strongest aspect, Evil West offers an extremely engaging combat system that will keep you on your toes at all times as you rip and tear through demons and other abominations at high speeds.

An enjoyable combat system is left to flounder in an otherwise unambitious ode to Xbox 360 era shooters, that quickly gets too repetitive to enjoy.
